What is Silicon dioxide? The chemical formula of silica is SiO2.Silicon dioxide is crystalline and amorphous. The nature of silica, such as quartz and sand, is collectively referred to as silica. Pure quartz is a colorless crystal. Large and transparent prismatic quartz crystal is called crystal, containing trace impurities, and purple is called amethyst. Light yellow, golden and brown is called smoke crystal. Chalcedony, agate, and jasper are all colored quartz crystals containing impurities. Sand is fine quartz grains mixed with impurities. Opal, diatomite is amorphous silica.
Main uses of Silicon dioxide Silica dioxide can be used as a lubricant and is an excellent flow promoter, mainly as a lubricant, anti-adhesive, and flow agent. Especially suitable for the granulation of oil and extract drugs, the particles made have good fluidity and possibility. It can also be used as a flow aid in direct compression tablets. As a disintegrating agent, it can greatly improve the particle fluidity and the loose density, increase the hardness of the produced tablet, shorten the disintegration time limit, and improve the speed of drug dissolution. The internal desiccant can be used in granule manufacturing to enhance the stability of the drug. It can also be used as a filter aid, clarification agent, antifoam agent, liquid preparation of suspension aid, and thickening agent. The harm of silica to the human body: Silica has important uses in daily life, production, and scientific research, but sometimes it can also cause harm to the human body. The dust of silica is very fine, and the specific surface area of 100m2 / g can be suspended in the air. If people inhale the dust containing silica for a long time, they will suffer from silicon lung disease (because silicon was called silicon, silicon lung was called silicosis). Therefore, in these dusty workplaces, strict labor protection measures should be taken, using various technologies and equipment to control the dust content in the workplace to ensure the health of the staff.
